Is There Any Benefit To This Turbo Set Up?

Nah no realy benefit, remote turbo set-ups are usually done due to spacing constraints.

Ends up being pretty laggy, but makes similar powar. Also they dont usually need intercoolers cos the piping is soo long, the air looses all its heat on the way back to the motor.

That is a f**king sick car. Sounds porn, looks amazing.

:drool:

Very nice car!

There's a guy in the FI section doing a rear turbo setup at the moment.

Yeah benefit would be regular police wouldnt know what they are looking for LOL

Exactly what I was thinking.

The turbo housing should also act as an intercooler as the outside air is blowing onto it.

Instant cooling...

+ this setup seems quite popular in the USA.

My wifes TDi jetta does that thing with the windows that he thinks is "dope"

oh lawd

Im still not a believer of such setups.

One dude in FI has something similar ATM ("STS" thread)... But with ALL that extra pipe work, there MUST be some delay & lag on that set-up over conventional stuff.

Also add in the extra weight, weight balance all that pipe would come into etc etc.

I think the fact they all usually do it with resonable cube V8's kinda negates it a bit - but you can hear from the video how long the turbos take to get on song

Hence, i ain't convinced.

Very sexy car though.

Yeah not exactly responsive, especially for such small turbos.

[NickR33]

doesn't matter on that setup though as he's got high comp Lexus V8 power... the turbos would just give more torque/power and fatten out the midrange and top end... he's only running 5psi if I heard correctly

sweet car... pity about the gearbox, sounds slushy changing gears... a manual would be so nice

Yeah i agree with that, still would be much better with a "real" turbo setup though, If it were mine I would just leave it Aspirated.

V160 Conversion wouldn't be too hard they are just a Fat version of an IS250 and bell housings are avaliable to suit the UZ motor

the adgantage is that you don't have to go making up new manifolds, trying to squeeze turbos into tight engine bays with v8 motors, and on NA motors lag won't be that much of an issue. because you don't really need to run much in the way of intercoolers and the turbos aren't massive. you will have some lag though obviously.

an advantage though, epic turbo spool noise coming out the exhaust as it doesn't have to pass through any mufflers after the turbo.

[NickR33]

and I suppose its much easier to return the car to stock... means better resale without the turbos and nobody would ever know it was boosted

[SlowSkyline]

That is Awesome, the spool noise out the back is pure porn!

I have been thinking about doing this to my 5ltr NC fairlane for those exact reasons.

he def needs more shit carbon everywhere

and shoulda just bought one of these

sounds the same

having the turbo in the back seat is plausable . http://speedhunters.com/archive/2010/07/20...k-pink-s14.aspx

80% of the energy the turbo uses comes from exhaust heat

how hot is your manifold ? vs how hot is the exhaust gas at the tip ? you do the math

[mad082]

how does the turbo use heat? the turbo uses exhaust gas flow. sure the exhaust gas has less density when it is hotter, therefore being a larger volume, but if you take this into account with exhaust size and turbo size you could balance things out a bit. plus there is the advantge of the fact that a byproduct of the turbo is heat, which then reduces power, so having it further away reduces the power loss through hotter intake temps and restrictive intercoolers.

[lachlanw]

not goin to argue how a turbo works . go read a book instead of the internet

on another note of someone came to me and had lots of money and wanted this id be happy to do it and he is obvoiusly happy with it

that things a beast. enjoy driving thru puddles

[Peter89]

there was a huge debate on this on NS a while back. short answer, no.

-increased intercooler piping thus more lag.

-increased risk of turbo damage.

-decreased life span of the turbo. whenever it rains the turbo will be sprayed with water. since the inside of the exhaust hosing will be around 900c yet the outside is being sprayed with cool water, the great temperature difference is likely to cause cracking.

-cheaper, easier and more common to do with the correct way.
